Broncos draft Lamar corner Brendan Langley in third round

The Denver Broncos drafted Lamar cornerback Brendan Langley in the third round with a compensatory draft selection.

Langley worked out privately for the Texans, according to a source not authorized to speak publicly.

Langley is an intriguing size-speed draft prospect who played in the Senior Bowl All-Star game.

A transfer from Georgia, Langley is a converted wide receiver and a Football Championship Subdivision All-American selection.

At the NFL scouting combine, Langley ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds. The 6-foot, 201-pounder bench pressed 225 pounds 22 times and had a 35 1/2 inch vertical leap. He also registered a 10-2 broad jump.

A former Georgia starter, Langley intercepted six passes last season at Lamar and broke up seven passes. He returned two punts for touchdowns.

Langley needs to add polish to his cover skills, but is regarded as a player with serious upside.

He was named All-Southland Conference last season as a defensive back and punt returner.

The Texans attended Langley's Pro Day workout along with the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants, New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.
